CALL FOR PAPERS SSR 2014: 1st International conference on Security Standardisation Research 16th-17th December 2014, London, UK http://www.ssr2014.com Over the last two decades a very wide range of standards have been developed covering a wide range of aspects of cyber security. These documents have been published by national and international formal standardisation bodies, as well as by industry consortia. Many of these standards have become very widely used - to take just one example, the ISO/IEC 27000 series have become a very widely used basis for managing corporate information security. Despite their wide use, there will always be a need to revise existing security standards and to add new standards to cover new domains. The purpose of this conference is to discuss the many research problems deriving from studies of existing standards, the development of revisions to existing standards, and the exploration of completely new areas of standardisation. Indeed, many security standards bodies are only beginning to address the issue of transparency, so that the process of selecting security techniques for standardisation can be seen to be as scientific and unbiased as possible. This conference is intended to cover the full spectrum of research on security standardisation, including, but not restricted to, work on cryptographic techniques (including ANSI, IEEE, IETF, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27, ITU-T and NIST), security management, security evaluation criteria, network security, privacy and identity management, smart cards and RFID tags, biometrics, security modules, and industry-specific security standards (e.g. those produced by the payments, telecommunications and computing industries for such things as payment protocols, mobile telephony and trusted computing). Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors have published elsewhere or have submitted in parallel to any journal or other conference or workshop that has proceedings. Submissions will take place entirely via a web system. All submissions will be blind-reviewed. Papers must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references. A submitted paper should begin with a title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords. It is intended that the proceedings of SSR 2014 will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. It is also intended that the proceedings will be available at the conference. Papers published in the LNCS series are indexed by both EI and ISTP. Clear instructions for the preparation of a final proceedings version will be sent to the authors of accepted papers. Authors are strongly recommended to submit their papers in the standard LNCS format (see http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-0-0-0 for details), with length at most 15 pages (excluding bibliography and appendices). Committee members are not required to review more pages than this, so papers should be intelligible within this length. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference. The conference will take place at Royal Holloway, University of London (RHUL), located on the western edge of the metropolitan area. Royal Holloway is very convenient for London Heathrow Airport, as well as being close to a number of historic locations such as Windsor and Runnymede. Papers must be submitted using the EasyChair conference management system at: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ssr2014 Please send any enquiries to: admin@ssr2014.com Topics of relevance include, but are not limited to, standards-related contributions on any of the following topics: access control biometrics cloud computing CNI protection critiques of standards cryptanalysis cryptographic protocols cryptographic techniques evaluation criteria formal analysis of standards identity management industrial control systems security internet security intrusion detection key management and PKIs mobile security network security payment system security privacy RFID tag security risk analysis security controls security management security protocols security services security tokens smart cards telecommunications security trusted computing web security Key dates Deadline for submissions: Friday 20 June 2014 Notifications to authors: Wednesday 10 September 2014 Camera ready due: Thursday 25 September 2014 Opening of conference: Tuesday 16 December 2014 Conference organisation General Chair Chris Mitchell, RHUL, UK Programme Committee Chair Liqun Chen, Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, UK Programme Committee Ian Bryant, Trustworthy Software Initiative, UK David Chadwick, University of Kent, UK Takeshi Chikazawa, Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan Lizzie Coles-Kemp, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK Cas Cremers, University of Oxford, UK Riaal Domingues, South Africa Andreas Fuchsberger, Microsoft Aline Gouget, Gemalto, France Phillip H Griffin, Griffin Information Security, USA Bridget Kenyon, University College London, UK Eva Kuiper, Hewlett-Packard, USA Xuejia Lai, Shanghai Jiaotong University, China Pil Joong Lee, Postech, Republic of Korea Jiangtao Li, Intel Corporation, USA Peter Lipp, Graz University of Technology, Austria Joseph Liu, Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore Andrew Martin, University of Oxford, UK Shin'ichiro Matsuo, National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, Japan Jinghua Min, China Electronic Cyberspace Great Wall Corporation, China Atsuko Miyaji, Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Japan Kenji Naemura, Institute of Information Security, Japan Valtteri Niemi, University of Turku, Finland Kenny Paterson, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK Angelika Plate, help AG, UAE Bart Preneel, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium Sihan Qing, Peking University, China Kai Rannenberg, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany Phillip Rogaway, UC Davis, USA Christoph Ruland, University of Siegen, Germany Kazue Sako, NEC, Japan Dieter Sommer, IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, Switzerland Jacques Traore, Orange Labs, France Vijay Varadharajan, Macquarie University, Australia Claire Vishik, Intel Corporation, UK Debby Wallner, USA Michael Ward, MasterCard, UK Yanjiang Yang, Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore Jianying Zhou, Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore
